Valve’s Newel: PS3 A Waste Of Everyone’s Time
Boy, here we go again. Valve front man Gabe Newel is known for voicing his opinions openly (and we love him for it), calling the PS3 a “total disaster”. This time, once again, he slams Sony and the PS3. In an interview with Edge magazine Newels called the “PS3 a waste of everyone’s time”, and further slammed the platform,
“Investing in the Cell, investing in the SPE gives you no long-term benefits. There’s nothing there that you’re going to apply to anything else. You’re not going to gain anything except a hatred of the architecture they’ve created. I don’t think they’re going to make money off their box. I don’t think it’s a good solution.”
Developers have consistently criticized the PS3 for being too complicated to work with, in particular the Cell processor. For all the power and potential, it’s a complicated chip that has little in common with other processors like the one in the Xbox 360 or a x86 CPU found in a PC, which means developers can’t simply “port” games to the PS3, it requires a lot more time, manpower and of course, money.

Of course there is no comments here cause people would hate to admit the PS3 is a waste of time and money.

Yeah, I really think the Ps3 is a waste of time and money, Ps3 is the worst console ever created and besides the playstation 1 is better than the Ps3, but Everyone Knows that the 360 is and will be the best of its kind.

ahh the sounds of fanboyish bickering! Oh, and how’s the 360 doing in Japan again? I forgot (lol).
PS3 owners= leaders of the free world!

Japan is just a small part of the world isn’t it? Seems to me the 360 is being played more than the Ps3 in the rest of the world.(lol) Ps3 owners = idiots that should have bought other stuff with their money.
